D E S I G N E D b y T H E O WA N N ETheo Wanne is the world’s foremost expert on the design and manufacturing of saxophone and clarinet mouthpieces. His company is the world leader in quality and innovation.

Theo started as an old-fashioned apprentice in 1976 designing and building custom bicycle frames by hand. In 1987 he began travelling the world on a spiritual quest which resulted in graduating from the Naropa Institute in 1997 with a degree in ‘Musical Improvisation as a Spiritual Path’.

Mindi Abair American Idol, Aerosmith

“Theo’s mouthpieces are a revelation! He is actively and sensitively evolving the art and science of mouthpiece making and raising the bar within the industry.”

Nelson Rangell “Theo’s mouthpieces are the answer to a saxophonist’s dream; they are a home run with the bases loaded! What a wonderful innovator he is! They are the only mouthpieces I’ve played in seven decades with EVERYTHING!”

George Young John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Dizzy Gillespie, Frank Sinatra, Madonna

“I feel Theo has brought a new dimension in mouthpieces to us that will not only stand the test of time but will be benchmarks for many, many years to come!”

Jeff Coffin Bela Fleck, Dave Matthews Band

“Theo Wanne makes meticulously crafted mouthpieces that outplay anything else out there. He is totally dedicated to matching his brilliant musical tools to the artistry and vision of each player he works with. My experience working with Theo has been wonderfully rewarding.”

Robert Martin Frank Zappa for 20 years

During his time at Naropa Theo bought and sold vintage instruments and mouthpieces as well as refaced mouthpieces under the tutelage of Bob Carpenter. In 1998 he moved to Philadelphia, PA, displaying his mouthpieces and refacing work, as well as doing saxophone repair, at the shop of master instrument repairman, Bret Gustafson. However, the demand for his mouthpieces quickly got overwhelming so Theo started his own company Saxophone Mouthpiece Heaven, which quickly became the world’s most comprehensive resource on the design and history of saxophone mouthpieces. Much of this knowledge is still available on Theo’s new website www.theowanne.com. The world’s top musicians such as Joshua Redman, Chris Potter, Eric Alexander, Jan Garbarek, Tim Price, and many more came to work with Theo as word of his master craftsmanship spread.

In 2007, Theo started manufacturing his own line of mouthpieces and saxophones based upon the demands and feedback of his many famous clients. Theo utilized the most sophisticated design and manufacturing techniques on the planet to accurately and consistently reproduce these designs. Theo continues to work with many of the world’s top musicians such as Mindi Abair, Gerald Albright, Nelson Rangell and George Young continually improving his product.

Theo’s job is to make products that allow the musician to easily access their creative genius and passion! He believes when musician shares their genius and passion they are providing a much needed service to the world!

“Theo is a master craftsman and creative genius. His mouthpieces have allowed me to take my music to the next level.”

“Theo has created the best clarinet mouthpieces in history!!!”

“Theo’s clarinet mouthpieces are totally awesome! They are even, open, and full sounding, sparkling from the bottom to the very top of the instrument.”.”

We started from a solid rod of the world’s most premium rod rubber, built on the classic designs of Chedeville and Kaspar, then improved them! The clarinet fills with air like never before. Finally the entire clarinet can vibrate! The result is the fullest sound ever heard on clarinet! All other clarinet

mouthpieces sound stuffy in comparison!
